About this cottage rental

The Nook was converted in the 80s partially using a shed first built on the property in the 1920s. While inside the unit you can see the roof of the original Nook where the bedroom now resides. The kitchen area is small but has everything you need to cook!

**The mattress was changed to a new one in 2023 based on reviews from previous years saying it was uncomfortable**

We were looking for a perfect location, close to all the typical hikes and also near the city. The "Nook" provided that and much more. We were about 15 minutes from town, the loop road and Cadillac Mt Summit road. We were not at the house much, but it was such a cute well laid out place. A great little deck to sit out on and enjoy the meteor showers also. The only complaint we did have was the bed was so noisy, every time you tried to roll over the thing squeaked up a storm lol. But from all the hiking we were able to sleep anyways. Highly recommend staying here!!

The Nook is a lovely little apartment and the pictures on VRBO depict it accurately! Great location/proximity to Hulls Cove Park entrance and downtown Bar Harbor. Quiet, clean, nice deck and fire ring. The shower is small as described by others. Otherwise the space is perfect for 2 people. I recommend this property!

It was located in the perfect area to be out of the busy town, but yet really close to everything.

Spacious house for a couple (and a dog) in close proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia NP. Nicely updated, clean, and well stocked with all the basics! Owner was great to communicate with. Proximity to Route 3 made it a bit noisy.

Very nice and convenient location. Impeccably clean and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies, as well as access to shared laundry including detergent. My only caveat is that the bed is extremely uncomfortable, and very noisy with even the smallest movement. I reported this to the owner and can only hope it will be addressed, in which case, I would happily stay there again.

Very clean , comfortable place for two. The kitchen is tiny but equipped with all the basics you need. The view from the deck is of a pretty busy road and beyond that you see a bit of the pond. The area/neighborhood is very nice. The AC is great. There are a few nice lobster restaurants nearby without even having to drive into Bar Harbor and it's easy access to the park (which is fabulous). The shower is very tiny- if you are a large person you may be uncomfortable.

Nice little cabin with a parking spot. 10 minutes away from Bar Harbor and Acadia Hull Cove Entrance. Property manager was very responsive and quick to resolve a problem we had with the heater. Good spot for everything we needed for a relaxing week

Cute Place

Nice place. We enjoyed the relatively private location, not too far from Bar Harbor and an entrance to Acadia. Nice little deck with a BBQ, nice yard and fire pit. View of the pond is nice, though it is a bit far and across a busy road. That brings some road noise during the day, but it was quiet at night. The portable air conditioner kept the place comfortable, as long as we remembered to turn it on when we were out for the day, and in the evening. Bed was VERY firm, more than we were used to. All in all, a nice place to stay.
